I got the most simple tattoo of a outline of a pelican. Five days later it looks horrible. It scabbed and pretty much disappeared. I have plenty of experience taking care of tattoos. I have had 20 different tattoos over my life. It’s red and most of the ink didn’t take. The only thing good from my experience was he had a cool dog. The owner acted like he was coming down from a three day meth binge. Please don’t let this guy touch your skin

I have been trusting Michael with my body canvas for over a decade. During that time I have not only received top quality care, guidance and advice, but I have been given beautiful pieces of art, sown of his own soul. Over the ten years , I have Followed Michael's aftercare directions to a t And I have also Had several experiences where I did absolutely nothing that he told me to do Yet the tattoos heal perfectly each and every Single time. The reason why I sought him out of the immediate area and farther reaching area than most is because he is not a tattoo artist. He is an artist that tattoos. And that is the difference between him and everyone else. This shop remains pristine. I have never Seen it anything but immaculate.. I trust him with my health with my family's health. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for more than just a drunk tattoo tale.

I have to add this in as I found myself disturbed by a previous comment made. I find it disturbing and disrespectful That 1 would have the audacity to implie.The artist was impaired. Number one, if 1 was to assume their artist was impaired, why would they go ahead with a tattoo in the first place? And then leave a tip? In my years of experience I have found People that have tattoos that struggle to heal correctly are usually on drugs.

I can’t say enough wonderful things. My daughter was only in town for a few days and wanted a memorial tattoo and it was her first tattoo. Before we ever came he went over things to do before and made sure he had the tattoo exactly how she wanted it. Made sure she was on the whole time talk to use to whole time. Amazing amazing amazing!!!!!

I got a spine tattoo today. He was quick and efficient. I gave him the general design and he made it from a 1 dimensional boring tattoo to this gorgeous 3 dimensional tattoo that he made his own with his creative talent. He’s a great guy and an awesome tattoo artist. I plan on coming back to him in the future.

Michael is just an amazing artist. He has done 3 cover ups for me and a superb job. He's a talent to be reckon with. He knew what I wanted and ran with it. He's created 3 of the pieces to my surprise. I was amazingly impressed by his work. My tattoos have healed wonderfully. He's the MAN.

I was visiting englewood on vacation and my 4 year old daughter decided she wanted her ears pierced. Mary responded to me quickly and was so kind and friendly to speak with. They were able to get an appointment for my daughter within a couple hours.
Michael is extremely skilled and talented and takes his work seriously. He is gentle and kind. I really enjoyed our conversation and could tell he is an honest, open hearted person. My daughter said she didn’t even feel her ears being pierced at all. He put on her favorite song and she sat there calmly while he explained everything to us. Everything was clean and he described the aftercare to us thoroughly as well. I’m so happy with our experience and next time we are in the area, I will stop by for my first tattoo! Thanks again so much, Michael!
